AUTUMN

We are, finally, getting some lovely autumn weather.  I hope it continues.  There were just eleven of us for yesterday's walk from Vinegar Hill Road to the park and back but the weather was fine if a little chilly.

There are several of this  yellow Justicia in the bed by the drive and we look out at them  from our kitchen window.  We also have the white and pink although they have finished flowering for the moment.



I picked these chrysanthemums before the last storm.  They are plants we bought last winter. The plants are quite tall and tend to fall over but are lovely in a vase on our dining table.



This Salvia isn't very showy but the bees love it.

  1. We were promised some overnight rain for last night; but nothing. The drought continues, and everything is very dry. I am watering every day. It has to end soon.

    1. It was a new plant to me when I got the pink one a few years ago and I am pleased to have the yellow and white ones now.
